ART THOU THE MAN.-There is an old
story of certain minister, who, in arrang-
ing his toilet for his parochial calls, found
a button gone from his shirt collar, and
all at once the good mans patience left
him. He fretted and scolded, and said
undignified and unkind things, until the
tired wife burst into tears and escaped to
her room. The hours of the afternoon
wore away, during which the parson called
upon old brother Jones, who was all bow
ed down with rheumatism and found him
patient and ever cheerful; upon young
brother Hall, wasting away with con-
sumption, and found him anxious to 60
and be with Christ upon old grandmoth-
er Smith, in her poor miserable hovel of
home, and found her singing one of the
young Mrs. Brown, who had few weeks
before buried her only child, and found
her trustful and serene in the view Of
Gods love which had come to her through
aMiction. The minister. went home fill
ed with what he had seen, and when
evening came, and he was seated in his
easy chair, his good wife near him busy
with her needles, he could not help say
ing, "What wonderful thing grace is!
How much it will do! There is nothing
beyond it's great power! Wonderful
It can do all things" Then the little
wife said, eyes it is wonderful indeed
but there is one thing the grace of God
does not seem to have power to do"
"Ah, what can that be ?" said the hus-
band. "Why, it does not seem to have
power to control minister's temper
when shirt button is gone" This was
version of the doctrine of grace to the
parson, but it was such version as many
another religious man needs to remember.
There is many man who can stand up
before a multitude and "confess Christi"
who can be most meek when insulted in
some public place; who can rub his hands
and bless God for the power of religion;
but who is too weak to keep his temper
at home. The value of art is in the fine
ness of the work; the perfection of music
in the little accuracies. So the beauty
and power of our religion are seen when
we manifest grace in little things. AS it
takes greater skill to engrave the Lords
prayer on five cent piece than upon
broad steel plate, so it takes more grace
to live good Christian at home than in
public.-Gollen Rule.
DIVERSITY IN STYLEs.-The diversity
in present fashions enables every woman
to dress we'll, even though her income be
limited. Thought, however, must be Civ
en- to the arrangements Of costumes, IN
order that they may be in harmony with
the style of the individual. Women
should study face and figure, in order to
select colors, forms and fabrics, which will
enhance natural charms or soften any
blemish. The costumes now in vogue are
far better adapted to the conservation OF
youthful appearance than those OF former
years, and everyone must acknowledge
that middle-aged women of the present
generation in this regard are far more
comely to look upon than those of years
gone by, judging from their pictures: But
there is, nevertheless, a certain discord-
ant effect when the mother of groWn.up
children wears jaunty hats that are suita-
BILE only to fresh, young faces. Certainly
when the crows feet show about the eyes
it is time to lay by the hat, becoming
though it be, and assume the more mat
renly bonnet. Stout persons should select
fabrics with designs that will give length
to the figure, and they should avoid all
heavy borderings. Slight women may
wear full draperies and fur border!ngs,
and the divinely tall have the widest
abiure longitudinal stripes as vigorously
as short or stout women should "plaids
of dimensions great" A bonnet should
be chosen with reference to the entire
figure and style of dress. In selecting
one, always do so before cheval glass,
for what may be becoming to the face will
often be out of proportion to the figure
and style of dress. When the income does
not allow the purchase of several bonnets
and mantles, these important parts OF the
toilet should be chosen with reference to
each other, and the single bonnet and
cloak or Jacket should be in harmony with.
the various dresses to be worn with them.
HOME EHAPPINEss.-P nineteen
twentieths of the happiness you will ever
have you. will get at home. The inde-
pendence that comes to man when his
work is over, and he feels that he has run
out of the storm into the quiet harbor OF
home, where he can rest in peace with
his family, is something real. 1t does
not make much difference whether you
own your house or have one little room
in that house, you can make that little
room home to you. You can people
it with such moods, you can turn TO IL
with such sweet fancies, that it will he
fairly luminous with their presence, and
will be to you the very perfection OF
home. Against this home none OF you
should ever transgress. You should al
ways treat each other with courtesy. 1t
is often not so difficult to love person as
it is to be courteous to him. Courtesy is
of greater value and more royal grace
than some people seem to think. If you
will but be courteous to each other you
will soon learn to love each other more
wisely, profoundly, not to say lastingly,
than YOU ever did before.-Er.
CHARACTER.-There is no possession
that is comparable to character: 1t IS the
diamond which cuts every other stone;
with it a man can penetrate and pass
through any wall of difficulty. With it
every misfortune is but stepping stone
to some noble and lofty end. 1t is an
armor like that fabled one that fell down
from Jupiter. Clad in it man can breast
all earthly storm, and bid defiance even
to the gates of hell. Said the late W. II.
